Licenses: The state of Utah has jurisdiction over hunting & fishing of all legal game species within its borders. Valid Utah hunting & fishing licenses are required. To report poaching incidents, contact the Utah DWR Poaching hotline. You must have written permission from the owners to hunt on any private land.

Bear Baiting: The Utah Division of Wildlife Resource's Black Bear Guidebook requires hunters to receive written permission from the appropriate local BLM office before they can obtain a certificate of registration for bear baiting on BLM lands. If you are interested in setting up a baiting station, please contact the local BLM office as soon as possible so your request can be considered before your permitted hunt begins.

Areas generally closed to baiting stations on BLM lands include designated Wilderness Areas, designated or heavily used recreation areas, and critical watersheds. If you bait a bear illegally on BLM lands, you can be prosecuted under federal law. Please note that the BLM will not approve cross-country off-highway vehicle travel to establish a bait station.
